Hi, we are about to get draft EHCP plan and I hope they will find some hours of support. Let's say it's 12 hours. LA said that 12 hours equals to 2k in top up funding, which is not sufficient. The first SEN funding of 6k is a notional amount received by state schools but not by independent. I am trying to understand this: so only 2k will be provided although 8k I guess is actually needed to find these 12 hours. I thought that funding requested through EHCP is additional funding for therapies because whatever is in place is not enough (we pay the fees plus various privately funded support that on its own is already over 6k without SEN sessions provided in school).
Did anyone have experience with this? I understand hat you need to show that state money is well spent: it will cost the govnt more to find the child in the state school as they need to find the basic funding of 6-8k while we are paying for independent school ourselves saving them money.
Thanks!
